County Board

new 12-story office building at 2025 Clarendon Boulevard will change the face
of Arlington’s Courthouse
neighborhood. At its March 14 meeting, the County Board unanimously
approved the
redevelopment despite
concerns
about the design and use
of the building.

metro area. Schulz said the building’s
design fits the county’s ambitions to
alter the local skyline with buildings
that taper the density and height up
towards the metro complex. The new
building will occupy 195,870 square
feet, including 6,960 square feet of
ground floor retail. The design also in-

cludes 244 parking spaces in an underground garage.
The site is currently occupied by a
Wendy’s and Wells Fargo. As a condition of
buying the property, the property’s developer, Carr Properties, a large portion of the
first floor retail space was taken up by the
new Wells Fargo location.
In a Sept. 2014 report, staff said the
3,375-square-foot Wells Fargo Bank branch
on the ground floor of the new structure
was “inappropriate” for the location. In response, Carr added a fourth 995-square-foot
retail area to the Clarendon Boulevard side
of the building, with the aim of using the
space as a coffee or sandwich shop.
“Planning principles have to accommodate where the market is,” said Erik
Gutshall, a member of the Arlington Planning Commission. “Normally we would not
want to see a bank use on a prime retail
spot, but I think the [Site Plan Review Committee] recognized that this is something
that needed to be accommodated to make
all of the other successful parts of this
project work out. We did work to find ways
to mitigate that use.”
Some on the County Board raised concerns regarding the rest of the space being
used as offices, particularly with a 20.5 percent office vacancy rate throughout Arlington, with numbers as high as 28.7 percent
in Rosslyn.
“We have record high office vacancies
across the county right now,” asked County
Board Member John Vihstadt. “Why do you
believe your building is a breed apart? How
are you going to surmount the current and
near term office vacancy dynamics in Arlington?”
According to county staff, the new office
spaces in the building are smaller than traditional office spaces and are more reflective of a new type of development in Arlington.
“The people we’re recruiting to come here
as tenants are downsizing and want more
flexible space,” said County Manager Bar-
bara Donnellan. “The 10,000-square-foot
30,000-square-foot tenant is who we’re trying to attract and keep here. We’re not getting the General Services Administration
tenants we had in the past that take up
whole buildings and complexes.”
Gutshall commented that the Planning
Commission was excited to see developers
continuing to build new office development
in Arlington, despite the vacancy rate.
The discussion in the County Board meeting also took the unlikely turn towards a
discussion on the nature of art. The development currently plans to build a mural
based on a picture of local historic figure
Crandal Mackey on one of the building’s
blank walls. Mackey was an Arlington Commonwealth Attorney who, in 1905, led a
series of raids against brothels and bars
throughout Rosslyn to tone down the area’s
nightlife, an event that neighborhood’s
nightlife has never fully recovered from. A
park in the county was named after Mackey,
but a new Central Place development will
replace that park. So with a blank space on
a property once owned by Mackey, the developer included the mural as a tribute to
the prosecutor.
While the design was approved by the
Arlington Historic Affairs and Landmark
Review Board, Jon Hensley from Arlington’s
Public Art Committee took objection to art
being added to a public space without any
input from Arlington’s artistic community.
“We don’t believe that public art should
be used in this manner, without artists and
preordained,” said Hensley. “We prefer that
the public art contribution go through the
standard process. The idea of this was presented at the December meeting and it was
presented as potentially public art, and was
presented as potentially public art at the
Planning Commission.” Carr has said the
project’s development schedule is to be determined, while no current plans are set for
the removal of the Wendys and current
Wells Fargo bank from the site. After approval of the project by the County Board,
Carr has three years to begin development.

t may never feel like a “good time” to have
a colonoscopy. You might have already
used the excuse that the preparation day
before a colonoscopy is unpleasant and cuts
into your busy schedule — and then you put it
off another year. But momentary discomfort
or inconvenience is a small price to pay for
saving your life.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause
of death from cancer in the United States. Only
40 percent of colorectal cancer cases are found
in the early stages when it is most treatable.
Consider the implications of not getting
screened, or of a family member putting off
screening until it is too late. If you are over 50
years old and of average risk, you should get
screened for colorectal cancer. Those at higher
risk may need to be screened earlier. And
colorectal cancer, long thought of as a disease
of older adults, has been rising in young adults
— which makes it especially important for
people of all ages to be aware of risk factors
like tobacco use, obesity and heavy drinking,
as well as family history.

student Emma Enkhsaikhan stand in front of the exhibit, “The Founding Sisters.”
The display is open to the public through the end of March at the Arlington Historical Society’s museum, 1805 South Arlington Ridge Road.
‘The Founding Sisters’
Apasrin Suvanasai didn’t know much about the early days of Marymount University until she took a course in public history. That’s when she and three other students created an exhibit about their school’s founding sisters, the Religious
of the Sacred Heart of Mary, as part of a class project to celebrate Marymount’s 65th anniversary.
Suvanasai marveled at how Marymount, founded in 1950 with 13 students, has grown from a two-year college for
women into a coeducational university serving approximately 3,600 undergraduate and graduate students.
The public can learn about the school’s origins from “The Founding Sisters,” an exhibit designed and curated by
Suvanasai, Emma Enkhsaikhan, Dalia Faris and Amy Lawton, on display through the end of March at the Arlington
Historical Museum, 1805 South Arlington Ridge Road. The museum is open from 1-4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays.
One of three planned exhibits that shows how integral Marymount has been to the Arlington community, it features

Wakefield Boys’ Soccer Faces Tough Early-Season Schedule
Warriors blanked

season opener.

he first two weeks of the season
figure to test the mental and
physical toughness of the
Wakefield boys’ soccer team. For
various reasons, multiple talented athletes
that Wakefield coaches figured to have on
the field are unable to play. Along with a
depleted roster, the Warriors scheduled four
quality programs to start the year: perennial power Langley; 2014 6A North region
semifinalist West Potomac; defending 5A
state champion Broad Run; and 2014 6A
state runner-up Washington-Lee.
“We scheduled murder’s row for these first
four games,” Wakefield assistant coach Nick
Chauvenet said.
The gauntlet started Monday, when Langley traveled to South Arlington. The Saxons took the lead when sophomore striker
Jacob Labovitz scored in the 24th minute
and Langley cruised to a 3-0 win.
“Reality is you’ve got to be able to play
with a physicality,” Chauvenet said, “and we
can’t right now.”
Labovitz scored two goals for the Saxons,
and sophomore Sam Golan added one.
“Coming in, we’re very optimistic,” said

Langley head coach Bo Amato, whose team
has hopes of competing for the 6A state
championship. “… We’re young, but we’re
good.”
The Warriors, on the other hand, face a
more challenging path while not at full
strength. Wakefield reached the 5A Conference 13 championship game last season, but
is missing key players this year. The War-
riors are hoping for the return of senior
midfielder Omar Al-Dulaimi, who suffered
a concussion during wrestling season, and
senior midfielder Jordi Carcamo Moya, who
is academically ineligible.
While Wakefield hopes to return to full
strength, senior midfielder John Fuquene
and senior defender Alejandro Quinones are
leading those who are able to play. Fuquene
will play collegiate soccer at William &
Mary, while Quinones will play at Drexel.
Next up for Wakefield is a road game
against West Potomac at 7 p.m. on Friday,
March 20. “I still feel confident we can have
a very solid team this year,” Chauvenet said.
“… We just want to go further [than last
year]. … We want to win games in the regional [tournament].”

Wolfgang and Carla Büchler divide the
duties with Wolfgang supervising the baking upstairs —juggling timing for the bread,
heating the chocolate, baking pies, frying
donuts while Carla handles the downstairs.
“We don’t try to ‘mangle too much’.” Carla
Büchler says she has 20-25 workers including full-time and part-time. She pays the
bills, orders for retail and the deli, serves
customers and answers emails. “It is so different now with credit cards and all of those
emails.” Carla Büchler says that the popularity of the German bakery is partly because a lot of people used to be stationed
in Germany in the military and had happy
memories. Others have visited Germany.
And of course there are the people of German heritage.
The bakery has been offering sandwiches
since they moved to the current location.
On Saturday mornings in good weather they
offer sausages with the trimmings under a
large umbrella stand outside the bakery.
Carla Büchler says they have a German
butcher in Baltimore who makes sausages
and cold cuts. In about 1990 they added
the “portrait cakes.”

The Right Fit: Choosing a Summer Camp
How parents can ensure positive summer experiences for their children.
By Marilyn Campbell
The Connection
hough the official start
of spring is still days
away and the frigidity
of winter is still recent
on the minds of many, Janelle
Wright, a Potomac, Md., mother
of two, has already mapped out
the summer for her children.
Wright did research before signing up her 13-year-old daughter,
Corrine, in an academic camp
geared toward boosting her English composition skills, and enrolling her 12-year-old son, Teddy,
in a camp for children whose
needs fall just outside the norm.
Indeed, experts say social interactions, a chance to have fun and
an opportunity to fill the time between family trips are just some
of the benefits of summer camps.
There are camps for every child,
no matter their needs.
“I spoke to the camp and shared
with them up front that my son
might need help socializing with
other kids,” said Wright. “He might
need directions repeated to him. I
did that so I could drive away in
peace knowing that he’d be fine.
It’s different for my daughter because she doesn’t have any challenges. I don’t have to call the
camp and talk to them like I do
with my son.”
T
WHETHER A CHILD is typical
or falls slightly outside the norm,
doing a bit of research and exercising forethought are good ideas
when selecting summer programs.
In fact, advanced planning and
registration for summer camp is
essential in the Washington, D.C.,
region, say educators.
“It’s important to find an activity that kids already like to do. It’s
summer so kids should have fun,”
said Linda Gulyn, Ph.D., professor
of psychology at Marymount University in Arlington.
“Choose a camp where they
won’t feel lonely. It helps to sign
them up with a buddy, especially
in late elementary and middle
school so they’ll have one or two
people at camp they already know.
That really does matter.”
If choosing a specialty camp,
summer might not be the time for
embarking on a new activity, however.
“Summer camps may not be a
time to have kids do something
completely new,” she said. “For
example, if a child has never
played golf, you might not want
to invest money in a golf camp if
you aren’t sure your child will enjoy it. A child needs to feel like this
is not school where they are struggling to learn a new activity.”
The most important thing is for
parents to do their research.
“Interview the camp director,
said Lois McCabe, head of school
for The Diener School in Potomac.
“What does the day look like? How
structured or unstructured is it? It
is good to have a mix of both.”
“Parents should consider a camp
that taps into their child’s
strengths, the size of the groupings
during the day,” said Susan J.
Johnson, Ph. D., of Commonwealth Academy in Alexandria.
“Consider the length of time for
each activity.”
Johnson advises that parents try
coordinating their child’s attention
span with the camp’s schedule.
“Match camp schedule with body
clock of the child,” she said.
“Schedule afternoon camp for children who naturally sleep late in
the mornings, for example.”
the week their child will attend
camp based on the camper’s interests.
“We have a theme for every
week that is packed with field trips
and special events” said Fred
Lowery, owner of Kiddie Country
in Burke, which is running 11
weeks of camp this summer. “All
of the camp activities are related
to the theme. There are field trips
to the Maryland Science Center, a
Washington Mystics game, Reptiles Alive and Hershey Park. On
site, we have everything from mad
science to jugglers to swimming.”
Traditional camp experiences,
like opportunities for socializing
with peers, are still found in specialty camps.
“As [campers] learn to identify,
measure and combine ingredients,
they are also learning important
life skills, working together as a
team and ultimately creating a
delicious meal,” said Jennifer
Bashaw, curriculum development
coordinator at Tiny Chefs, Inc.
“Children leave our camps with a
greater confidence in their kitchen
skills and personal creativity.”

INFORM THE CAMP’S STAFF
if a child has allergies, medical
needs or phobias. For special needs
children, Johnson says camp counselors and directors should be
“aware of a child’s specific learning disabilities, and trained in how
to teach children with learning
disabilities, present directions,
teach multiple strategies for learning new skills and always incorporate hands-on learning activities.”
Johnson suggests parents do a
practice run to camp and visit the
campus or building. “This will ease
first day anxiety and give the
camper self confidence that he or
she knows his way around,” she
said. “Meet the counselors if possible.”
There are also options if parents
want their children to enjoy typical camp activities like swimming
and arts and crafts combined with
academics. For example, Wright
chose an English program at St.
Andrew’s Episcopal School in
Potomac for her daughter.
“[Our] summer programs encompass academics for credit or
enrichment and the arts [including] visual, performing and culinary,” said Monique McMillanJackson, director of summer programs. St. Andrews also offers
sports and technology camps.

It always does, and there always are;
especially if you have to work for a living and cancer is a part of that living.
Granted, I’m extremely happy to be
able to still make a living, cancer diagnosis notwithstanding, but a cancer
diagnosis, particularly a “terminal” one,
is hardly “notwithstanding.” In fact, it is
almost impossible to withstand. Oh
sure, there are good days, and of course
bad days, but mostly – for me, anyway,
there is a daze in between. And that
“between” is what’s rocky about this
hard place.
Since most things cost money, and
money doesn’t grow on trees (nor is it
made from trees by the way); allocating
it, when you have cancer, is complicated. Do I spend it now (whether I
have it or not), as a means of reinforcing a positive but premature end? Or
do I not spend it and plan for a longerthan-predicted life expectancy while
depriving myself of the pleasure in the
interim? Or do I rationalize the expenditure and reward myself for good
behavior – so to speak, figuring that the
high will be more beneficial than the
low and create exactly the kind of
energy my body needs to combat the
cancer? Or do I minimize all of it and
live my life as normally as possible? If
only it were that simple.
“Normally as possible” left the building on February 27, 2009, the date I
received my stage IV, non-small cell
lung cancer diagnosis (my ground zero)
with its “13-month to two-year prognosis.” At that point, your brain stops
functioning as it has for the entirety of
your previous life (541⁄2 years for me).
Life, as you knew it, is sort of over; not
done, but most assuredly, it will be different, and your perspective and emotional underpinnings will be changed
forever – whether you expect them to
be or not.
It doesn’t mean, as an example, that
you’ll never laugh again or make selfeffacing jokes, but neither can you look
at, or live, life as naively as you have.
Living forward becomes way more
complicated, and viewing it all, planning for it all, can only be considered
through the prism of cancer. And
though certainly I can boast of some
success surviving six-plus years postdiagnosis, it really has been mind over
matter. Even though cancer is constantly
on my mind, I’ve tried not to let it matter. (Much easier written about than
actually managed.)
Juggling emotions has been difficult
enough, but managing money, allocating resources and planning a financial
future while living a precarious present,
is all it’s cracked up to be. Yet, if I don’t
find a way to maintain my status quo/
balance emotionally, I may very well
become a victim of my own circumstance. As much as I’d like to invoke
Curly Howard (while looking in the mirror): “I’m too young to die, too handsome; well, too young, anyway” as an
arbiter of reason, the reality is: cancer is
the big dog and I’m just sitting here on
the porch.
